ARCHIVE ON 4: THE CULT OF LEBOWSKI (320kbs-m4a/129mb/56mins)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 7th October 2023
Twenty-five years ago, the Coen brothers' follow-up to the Oscar-winning Fargo had critics scratching their heads.
A comedy? And a weird one at that - encompassing a typically incomprehensible film noir plot, philosophy, the War in Iraq and... bowling?
Archive on 4 digs into the vaults and speaks to an array of critics to define the peculiar, quotable appeal of the film - and ask if finding its own fanbase and a critical reappraisal make it the perfect definition of a cult film.
Featuring James King, Angie Errigo, Katie Smith-Wong, Tim Robey, Sir Roger Deakins, Joel Morris, Matt Qvortrup and Hannah Strong.
Presented by Helen O'Hara
Produced by Kevin Core
